Great place to stay a nice house with good beds and very clean and large kitchen. Parking at the back find a slot but we were able to park fine for a week. Many things to do in town centre and shops, many places to visit even Scotland was not that far. Only downside was the dam weather cold and et most of the week but otherwise happy stay.

Well situated for local shops, pubs etc, the property itself is very well equipped, and very clean, the beds are really comfortable and there's plenty of wardrobe/drawer space I would thoroughly recommend this place and look forward to going back in the near future
